Something doesn't seem right. Why was it necessary to hold a press conference? I suppose it could be argued that, after all the non-stop coverage for hours, they saw an opportunity to get what they thought would be good PR on national TV. Or, they needed to get in front of the story, get everyone back to their football games to take this off breaking news--whether for embarrassment reasons or national security.

I dunno, but it was interesting watching the Hispanic spokeswoman. She didn't strike me as one of those clueless PR people they trot out for these things. She actually had info, and was very much in control of things. (Notice when she cut in to the white-shirted guy's turn at the mike and took over?) At points where she said she didn't know something, I wasn't so sure about that.
